Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796), also known as Robbie Burns, the Bard of Ayrshire and various other names, was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. Robert Burns was a pioneer of the Romantic movement. His poem 'Auld Land Syne' is often sung at Hogmanay.

The Bust

Based on modern statues and portraits of the time, this bust was sculpted at our workshop in Bath and makes a regal addition to the fireplace, bookshelves or occasional table of any Burns follower.

Around the Base

There are a series of models around the base associated with Shakespeare and his works and Scotland. For this bust we have included Bagpipes, Plough, Ink well and quill, Book, Whiskey bottle, Candle holder, timorous beastie and Burn's Cottage.

The etch around the base from 'Auld Land Syne' reads - "SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCES BE FORGOT AND NEVER BROUGHT TO MIND"
